I'm curious to know how one can purchase
cryptocurrency through Merrill Lynch, a well-known financial institution. Given the traditional nature of Merrill Lynch's services, I'm wondering if they have adapted to the rapidly evolving cryptocurrency market. Could you elaborate on the steps involved in initiating a cryptocurrency purchase through Merrill Lynch? Do they offer direct trading of major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin or Ethereum? Are there any fees or restrictions to be aware of? Understanding the process would be valuable for those looking to diversify their portfolios with digital assets.
